DriveSHAFT Broadband update 4: Hopeless resignation
Take heart, here at work it was a good month after ADSL was supposed to be up and running, that it eventually was - and a good month after that before all emails and such were working the way I wanted them to. It was Tel$tra's fault here too - just nothing I could prove or punish them for.
Huzzah! Fixed! Apparently the guy connecting up ADSL did something wrong with the configurations/setting/something. The Telstra tech took around about thirty seconds to spot the problem.

Okay, for anyone who’s a fan of Lost (and if you’re not, you should be – it’s a great combination of soapie, action-psychodrama and absurdist theatre which you don’t often get from US TV shows), check out this (spoiler-free, for anyone who’s seen at least the first episode) fan website for Charlie’s band. The News page is extremely amusing (especially the rant about hackers).
No miraculous restoration of phone services last night. Am almost conditioned to survive daily disappointment of perpetual weblessness. Did not, however, get any application written, but instead got tired and went to bed early. Hasn’t helped. Eschewing pronouns.
On the (weird) plus side, an extra parcel turned up yesterday. For some reason, the ISP sent me another ADSL modem. I'm tempted to detach the first one and hook up the new one instead, just to see if it miraculously restores the phones. But that would be sad and desperate, wouldn't it?
Er...mmm mmm mmm....ah, excuse me.

I feel slightly bad about being so mean to them all week now. But only slightly.
Yay! Broadband!
